5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous, Representative Song Collection of SM !, June 26, 2001

This review is from: Sailor Moon Super Best (Audio CD)

This CD is gorgeous and wonderful. There might not exist such CD that includes so many songs in one, except for this and those in "SM Memorial Song Box" (not yet imported by Amazon, maybe now sold in Japan, consisted of 6 disks), regarding the Japanese SM songs.

Among 15 songs, 1 to 10 are opening and ending themes to all the 5 seasons of TV version SM. This part is just the same as that of the main part of 1st disk in the "Memorial Song Box", and covers all the openings and endings. 1) "Moonlight Densetsu" by Dali is opening theme through 2 seasons of SM and SMR. Succeeding to Dali's, 5) "Moonlight Densetsu" by Moon Lips is also opening to both SMS and SM SuperS. And 9) "Sailor Star Song" by Hanazawa Kae is opening to 5th season, Sailor Stars. (This season episodes are not yet broadcast in NA).

The rest 7 songs of 10 are ending songs to 5 seasons. 2) "Heart Moving" and 3) "Princess Moon" by Hashimoto Ushio/Apple Pie are 1st and 2nd endings to SM. 4) "Otome No Policy" is to SMR. 6) "Tuxedo Mirage" is to SMS. 7) "Watashi-tachi ni Naritakute" and 8) "-Rashiku- Ikimasho" by Meu are 1st and 2nd endings to SM SuperS. And lastly, 10) "Kaze mo Sora mo Kitto" is beautiful and consolable ending theme to 5th season, Sailor Srars.

What wonderful and gorgeous is that this CD also includes 3 representative songs from the 3 movie version SM stories, now sold as VHS Videos in NA (but please note that this is the conditions in the original Japanese anime movies. Video movies in NA use the other songs, which are composed and written in the US. So in the following American Videos, whose names are shown in parentheses, these songs are not appeared). Namely, 13) "Moon Revenge" sung by five inner scouts is main and ending theme to SMR movie ("The Promise of the Rose"). 14) "Moonlight Destiny" by Asakawa Hiroko is main theme to SMS movie ("Hearts in Ice"). And 15) "Morning Moon De Aimashou (Meet with under the Morning Moon)" by Pretty Cast is ending theme to SM SuperS movie ("Black Dream Hole"). ---- Songs 11) and 12) are those of Sailor Stars, sung by Three Lights.

If you do not mind all the songs are sung in Japanese, and may enjoy the sounds of Japanese, this CD is really, highly recommended.

In addition, I should say that Japanese language has tonal/pitch accent, not stress accent like English, so that tonal patterns of song music are correspondent to those of lyrics, and this creates the proper beauty and impression effects on the songs. Every language expresses its sound beauty in its songs. So does Japanese. And I think the tonal beauties of Japanese lyrics may be fully manifested particularly in these songs.

The songs are very melodious, romantic, and sometimes dramatic. If you see and understand what Japanese lyrics mean, you may more enjoy and feel that these songs are beautiful and impressive. I especially love "Moonlight Densetsu" by Dali, and Opening and Ending themes to Stars, i.e. "Sailor Star Song" and "Kaze mo Sora mo Kitto". These are sparkling songs, I think. The wings, stars, wind, sky, sorrows, joys, Love and Eternity (tsubasa, hoshi-boshi, kaze, sora, kanashimi, yorokobi, Ai soshite Eien)....../*/ Japanese words by raya_starwing /*/.

This review is from: Sailor Moon Super Best (Audio CD)

If the songs to the Sailor moon series get you excited or make you want to dance, this is the CD for you. Even if you just want to know what the Japanese version of the dubbed songs actually sound like, you will be pleased with this CD. Now mind you the songs are all in Japanese and so are the lyrics, but you can find the lyrics in english on-line. The songs are very lovely and the recording is the same as in the series so you won't be disappointed. I highly recommend this CD!
